The Nineteenth Century Club.

New YORK, Dec 2l.-The Nineteenth Con-
fury Club met last night There WAS much talk
and gossip before the meeting about the resig-
nations of Andrew Carnegie and Judge Barrett
since the last gathering of the club. During the
evening CORTLAND Palmer, the president, spoke
of Mr.. Carneeie's resignation. He said: al
though it at first my disposition. personally,
accept it, 1 am not now disposed. Mr..
Carnegie made of too good stuff to lose him.
He has been too valuable, energetic, faithful,
earnest and progressive for to permit him TO
go. His fear was that if he rena mined his pres-
ence would create division in the club. But
there for him to feel that way.
There is no division between him and me.
shall, therefore, be glad, if the members APP
prove to request him to remain"
This little speech caused almost everybody in
the hall to clap hands, and that being accepted
as approval of the desire expressed by Presi-
dent Palmer, seemed to put a big quietus the
little trouble which stirred the club since Mr..
Carnegies speech socialism. After the
members had stopped applauding over the prob
ability of the Pittsburg optimistis return, Mr..
Palmer announced that the club. for the pres.
emit, would meet in the Metropolitan Opera
hOuSe.

FREE COINAGE.

Mr.. Atkinson Recommends that the Govern
ment Take No Further Action.
WASHINGTON, Dec 21-The President to-day
transmitted to Congress the report of Mr. Ed
ward Atkinson, of Massachusetts,, who, he says,
was specially designated by me- under the pro-
visions Of successive acts of Congress- to visit
the financial centers of Europe in order to ascer-
tain the feasibility of establishing. by inter
national standard q ixity Of ratios between the
two precious metals in free coinage of both"
Mr.. Atkinson summarizes the results of his in
quiries under four heads follows:
'.First-There is prospec. of any change in
the present monetary system of Europe an
states which can modify influence the finan-
cial policy OF the United States at the present
time.
..Second-There are no indications of any
change in the policy of the financial authorities
of the several States visited by me which war
rant any expectation that the subject of bimetal
lie treaty for common legal tender, coupled with
the free coinage of silver will be seriously con-
sidered at the present time by them
''Third-There is no indication that the subject
of bimetallism ha received any intelligent
serious consideration outside of small circle
in each country named a probable or posi-
BILE remedy for the existing causes of alleged
depression In trade.
"Fourth-There is no considerable politically
organized body of influential persons in either
country with which com nation could be
made. if such a combination cooperation
were desirable, on the part OF similar body in
the United States for promoting any definite or
practicable measures of legislation to bring
about the adoption of the bimetallic theory
cording to the common accepted meaning OF
that term The discussion is, yet, almost
wholely personal and without concentration os
purpose or the presentation of weli-devsed
measures capable of being acted unon.."
Mr.. Atknson's most i'm portant conclusion
from his observations is tina il would be wise
and inexpedient for the United States 30 again
take the initiative in promoting action for a
q general adoption of q bimetalic legal tender,
coupled with the free coinage of silver, for the
reason that such action is misconstrued and may
tend to retard rather than to promote the OBJ
iect aimed

mine in the matter. It is probable that in the
stirring times of November, 1861, it not
thought proper to bother the department with
the subject. At this late day have only dim
recollection of the case. think, however. that
it was found that the stamp the letter
ferred to by Postmaster Garger had been proper

that in future he must guard against letting the
steam get too high, the journals becoming
hot at mail time-that his official duties should
take precedence of his private pleasures and
worldly gains. 1 think I commended him for
